History

The original farm house
on this property was built from logs locally harvested somewhere
in the mid 1860’s. The farm kitchen from the original house still
forms the centre of hospitality at the farm.
An addition was added in the early 1990’s which provides space
for guests. In years past the house was referred to as The Russet House
in honour of an ancient Russet Apple tree that still bears fruit today.
We took this name for the farm as a way to make a connection
between our new relationship with this land and those who first
farmed here.
